La Ley secreta

This Colombian drama is centred on a group of undercover operatives working for the Colombian police to infiltrate the drug cartels. Most of the agents are women and their work is far from easy. They are frequently in perilous situations and any suspicion that they might be law enforcement officers is likely to be fatal. As the series starts we are introduced to Amelia, who is in perhaps the most danger having infiltrated a group moving drugs through the jungle; Sandra and 'Coyote' who pose as a couple to get close to the cartel's accountant; Tatiana, who investigates their chief pilot and new girl Alejandra, who must be trained before her first missions. As well as worrying about their missions each has personal issues to deal with as well. They are under the guidance of Col Cristobal Porto and his deputy María Emma Maldonado Vargas.

Before watching this I hadn't thought of watching anything from Colombia, and must admit I was nearly put off by the fact that the series is sixty episodes long... I'm glad I decided to give it a go though as I enjoyed it from start to finish. The characters, both good and bad, are impressive; the heroes have some flaws and their foes aren't mere pantomime villains. The story moves at a good pace and there is frequently a good sense of danger. I liked the fact that the characters stories were intertwined rather than having episodes dedicated to what was going on in a single location. The cast does a fine job bringing their characters to life and production values means everything looks great. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of crime dramas.

These comments are based on watching the series in Spanish with English subtitles.

This is a "Girl Power" Telenovela, with a group of women who become undercover operatives to infiltrate a Colombian drug cartel. It's obviously made for a specific niche market, and would not have wide appeal. The episodes become more ridiculous as the series progresses.

Streaming sites are often in such a hurry to provide new content for their viewers that they often become less discriminating and selective in what they finance. If you are looking for mindless entertainment, then this series would be for you. Otherwise, it is just a total waste of time!

Great perspective of female undercover agents! Great acting! Great chemistry between all of the characters! IMO story was consistent and realistic with a sprinkle of Hollywood as all shows are but not obnoxious unrealistic Hollywood! I loved everything about the production - seems like there was a slight door left open and I hope that it opens up to another chapter!!!

I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but I have been watching one telenovela after another, using subtitles. Even so, they have all been very good and I can't stop! The acting in this particular series is really good, and the character's are all interesting. The overall story is great with three different plots, all interwoven into a bigger picture. I really enjoyed every minute, and in fact, would watch it again.

This is an amazing telenovela. It's fast-paced and fascinating. The characters are fascinating. The action sequences are well done and realistic.

If you understand Spanish it's even better because the subtitles Don't do the series justice.

Remember this is a series about Colombia and you have to see it through that cultural prism. The people are extroverted and dramatic.
